Oooh, I love this! I especially appreciate your music choice--I put Assassins on in my car today for some unknown reason and I've had The Ballad of Booth in my head all night.

You also get Will Bailey points for use of the word "obfuscate" ;)

Heh, obfuscate is one of my favourite words - and I learned it thanks to Scully and the X-Files.

Ballad of Booth is such an amazing song.

Damn. Great internal voice of Josh, moving from, frankly, self-centered (understandably so) to oh-so responsible.

Thank you, it was quite a journey to take him on in a few paragraphs and I'm so glad if it worked :)

ugh, I LOVE it. Even if you killed Santos against my express instructions. Yeah, your thing is better.

For the first time in years, Josh hears sirens while everyone else hears music.

Was that a shout-out to Passion? They hear guns, we hear music...

damelola August 17 2010, 20:49:33 UTC

Yes it was a Passion shout out, and you know I'm always right.

ladyvivien August 17 2010, 20:57:05 UTC

oh shut up, come home and make out with me.

No thanks. Lande has biscuits and I won't be separated from them.

fkjladslfjdsa OMG, how did I miss this? Why didn't you tell me? LOL I love it. Of course. But, really. Love it, love it, to the point of being struck with...well, I can't really articulate it. I love it. I want you to write a huge fic of it. Or I'm going to do it someday. I've always wanted to do a fic like this, a long one, because I love the idea of it and the idea done well. This was done so well and I just...yeah, want more or want to write it. LOL And I love that you wrote Josh. I am so happy right now, and I'm going to go read it again. Yes I am. *huggles* ajfdklasfja

EEEEEE! I was totally thinking of you when I wrote it, because you are my go-to Josh girl. I can't believe I didn't squeal at you once this was done.

A longer version might happen one day, but more than happy to read your take on it if you get to it first ♥
